| 12 | +A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE |
| 13 | +========================== |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting |
| 16 | +Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands |
| 17 | +as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's |
| 18 | +principal author, although it includes many contributions from others. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for |
| 21 | +National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us) |
| 22 | +in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the |
| 23 | +software. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to |
| 26 | +BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same |
| 27 | +year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations, which became |
| 28 | +Zope Corporation. In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see |
| 29 | +https://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization |
| 30 | +created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property. |
| 31 | +Zope Corporation was a sponsoring member of the PSF. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for |
| 34 | +the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python |
| 35 | +releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes |
| 36 | +the various releases. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + Release Derived Year Owner GPL- |
| 39 | + from compatible? (1) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + 0.9.0 thru 1.2 1991-1995 CWI yes |
| 42 | + 1.3 thru 1.5.2 1.2 1995-1999 CNRI yes |
| 43 | + 1.6 1.5.2 2000 CNRI no |
| 44 | + 2.0 1.6 2000 BeOpen.com no |
| 45 | + 1.6.1 1.6 2001 CNRI yes (2) |
| 46 | + 2.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF no |
| 47 | + 2.0.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF yes |
| 48 | + 2.1.1 2.1+2.0.1 2001 PSF yes |
| 49 | + 2.1.2 2.1.1 2002 PSF yes |
| 50 | + 2.1.3 2.1.2 2002 PSF yes |
| 51 | + 2.2 and above 2.1.1 2001-now PSF yes |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Footnotes: |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under |
| 56 | + the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute |
| 57 | + a modified version without making your changes open source. The |
| 58 | + GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with |
| 59 | + other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible, |
| 62 | + because its license has a choice of law clause. According to |
| 63 | + CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1 |
| 64 | + is "not incompatible" with the GPL. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's |
| 67 | +direction to make these releases possible. |
